The Ginger King Build

Finished up most of my wiring for lighting, now just to decide what switches to use and where to mount them.

Started fabing my breaker/ wiring panel for under the hood. Coming together slowly, but it isn't pretty yet.... functional though!

Ordered an ultraguage today!

 

Great build, our trucks are the same and our builds are almost mirrored. Do you have any side profile shots of your truck on level ground? I'm trying to trade a set of Expos for my Deavers and I'd like to see how your truck sits and if it has any rake, so I can get an idea how my truck will be.

 

Thanks, I will take some today and post them. I added the 700# springs up front, then a little preload but mine sits level.

 

Fantastic, that's exactly what I wanted to hear! I too went with the 700# springs to compensate for the bumper. Also, let me know if you want to wheel sometime, lots of good trails close to me.

 

Very nice truck man, so jealous of your bumper set up. Keep up the good work!

 

Sounds awesome, would definitely like to hit some trails! What area of SoCal you in?

Thanks! Where in Southern Oregon you at, Rogue River? I actually joined the Navy out of Gresham and went to school a few years in Eastern, OR(baker city)

 

Depending where you are in SD, I'm approximately an hour North of you in Chino Hills.

 

I am about 15 min from Rogue River, near Medford.

 

Mounted switches today and finally finished up my lighting. Hooked up the my front Rigid Dually fog lights using butt connectors and the factory fog circuit, easier to disconnect if I ever need to pull my front bumper.

Ultraguage arrives tomorrow!

Next is going to be the IFS and Mid skids from Pelfreybilt as well as a Best top for the bed.

Had a lot of trouble today trying to spool my Zeon with the Synthetic line today, doesn't want to fit through the drum..... Needs lube, but I don't think that would be a great idea..

 

Almost done with the grill, just have to wait for it to dry, plastidip the chrome, and attach lettering.

 

I had a little bit of rubbing at full turn when going in reverse. But that went away when I got the Total Chaos UCA's installed and lifted each side with the coil over a 1/2".

Additionally, I haven't gone nuts with a grinder. Just pulled the plastic inner fender liners and the mud flaps as well as the small front mud flaps.

 

Looks good man. Almost as good as my 2014 white double cab 4x4 trd offroad...

 

Thanks.... I think.

Na, I looked at your truck quite a bit when I first bought mine, definitely gave me a lot of ideas. Great truck by the way! Hope to have mine closer to that level by next summer.

 

Interesting.

I'd take your truck, better executed so far

 

Haha. Im just messing with you. I really like what you have done. I love the high clearance rear. Im still scared to cut my bedsides but it will happen. Keep up the good work.

Subd

 

Haha

You dont like how I got a 3 inch toytec lift, 32's, allpro skids and allpro front and rear bumper. Then switch it all out for Icons, 33s, relentless/bamf skids, relentless front bumper and CBI rear swingout in less than a year.

 

Hahaha Aaron did the same, except he went with drop bracket first and had to weld in a replacement frame piece. Definitely, going the right direction now and also steered me in the right direction to begin with.

 

Thanks, I read your sarcasm. The high clearance rear is my favorite so far, definitely helps on the trails. It was nerve racking cutting those fenders, they still need to be straightened out but it works for now.... I may or may not shake a little.

 

Ill probably have my wife do mine with a dremmel. She has a steady hand like a surgeon.

 

Dremel wheel too small. You need to use a grinder with a 4.5" wheel
